Chapter 155, Requirements
Within the divine realm, Qing Sui's clone, restored to an altitude of 500,000 kilometers, hovered above the Nine Nether Ocean like a metallic sea urchin. For tens of thousands of years, the divine realm had been expanding, and the Nine Nether Ocean's absorption of divine power had also been increasing, and it had not yet reached its limit.
On a certain primordial star, the branches and leaves of Qingyuzhu's clone swayed. His bamboo whip, like the strongest Qingyuzhu, had long been sent back to its divine kingdom. A bamboo branch fell down and rolled up a precious treasure from the silt covering the river, storing it in the world ring.
On another primordial planet, Li Yan's clone, in full view of everyone, exchanged two ordinary fire-attribute treasures with a cosmic overlord from the Crimson Flame Alliance, then enveloped one of the treasures within it. Rising wisps of crimson flame completely fused with the treasure, absorbing its essence and increasing his own life gene multiplier.
This made many powerful figures envious, as others didn't even have enough for themselves, yet Li Yan actually had plenty to eat.
For tens of thousands of years since entering the Primordial Star, even after joining the Crimson Flame Alliance, Li Yan's clone has always been accustomed to handing over most of the treasures he has obtained to his clone, keeping a small portion of the treasures by his side, and even exchanging some treasures of other attributes with other powerful individuals for fire attribute treasures.
Of course, the Crimson Flame Alliance has the priority to replace this.
The powerful beings in the universe all know one thing: Li Yan's innate secret technique, Devouring, requires him to devour fire-attribute treasures to increase his life gene multiplier. Therefore, everyone knows about this behavior, and no one can stop him.
Obstructing someone's path is a matter of life and death! It's one thing if Li Yan doesn't have any supreme treasures, but if he does, it's something he obtained himself. If you don't let him take it, he might spend his whole life hunting you down, or even your entire clan.
Therefore, even Dark Night Evil Lord, the leader of the Crimson Flame Alliance, dared not interfere in this matter.
Of course, not all the treasures obtained are fire-attribute, so they need to be exchanged, which gives the strong members of the Crimson Flame Alliance priority.
Li Yan's clone maintained the frequency with which a typical cosmic overlord acquires precious treasures, handing over any excess to Teng Jun—the same goes for Qing Yu Zhu's clone—and exchanging the remaining items with the powerful members of the Crimson Flame Alliance.
Sometimes, it would openly exchange some of the worst fire-attribute treasures with Qing Yuzhu's clone and Tengyan's clone for use in devouring.
Li Yan's clone would meticulously calculate every contribution that didn't belong to the alliance. Sometimes, a slightly better ordinary treasure could be exchanged for two or three of the most common fire-attribute treasures when a powerful person needed it.
Li Yan's clone has been on the Primordial Star for over 30,000 years, and his gains have been considerable. He has absorbed over a dozen supreme treasures, increasing his gene multiplier to 1,035 times. At this rate, absorbing even the worst fire-attribute supreme treasure would roughly increase his life gene multiplier by two to three times. To reach a 10,000-fold increase, at least four to five thousand supreme treasures would be needed.
The sheer number is enough to make one feel hopeless.
I don't know if absorbing high-level or top-level treasures can speed things up, but unfortunately I don't have the resources right now. I'll definitely try it when I have the chance in the future.
While absorbing the essence of the treasure, Li Yan's clone was thinking about this matter.
……
In the Chaos Ruins, the clone of the Thousand-Eyed opened its single eye.
From his perspective, which spans 700,000 kilometers, the Chaos City Lord and the Venerable Guiyi appear pitifully small. However, the avatar of the Chaos City Lord can still sense the terrifying aura emanating from him, as well as the four or five powerful treasures on his body. There are even more ordinary and high-level treasures to be felt.
In comparison, the aura of supreme treasures on Venerable Guiyi was much weaker. Only two of them had the aura of high-grade supreme treasures, one had the aura of an ordinary supreme treasure, and the other two could only be considered top-grade heavy treasures.
The clone of the Divine Body shrunk to a size of 100 meters, a height not much different from that of the Chaos City Lord in the chaotic airflow.
"Guiyi, you can go out first. I want to have a few words with Muxuan."
"Yes, teacher." After bowing, Venerable Guiyi disappeared into the Chaos Ruins.
"Mu Xuan greets the Lord of Chaos City!" The shrunken avatar of the divine body bowed to the Lord of Chaos City.
Among all the universe lords of the human race, the Lord of Chaos City is recognized as the most just and selfless. Entrusted by the Primordial Ancestor, he guards the Chaos City of the Initial Universe and changed his title of universe lord to Lord of Chaos City. The vast majority of his actions are for the future of the human race, and he deserves everyone's respect and admiration.
"Your teacher is Palace Master Bai Feng. Starting from here, you should call me Senior Uncle." The Chaos City Lord looked at Ye Muxuan's clone with a gentle and mellow smile, and there was also relief in his calm eyes.
"Mu Xuan greets his senior uncle!" Ye Mu Xuan was surprised. He did not expect that his teacher, Palace Master Bai Feng, had such a great background. He was actually a disciple of that Primordial Ancestor. Since the Chaos City Lord took the initiative to mention it, he naturally gave a respectful junior's greeting.
"Since you address me as 'Senior Uncle,' I can't be stingy." The Chaos City Lord flipped his hand, revealing a beautifully crafted longsword treasure. "This is a treasure I obtained on the Primordial Star. Although it's an ordinary treasure, its quality is close to that of a high-grade treasure. I see that your true form is skilled in using a battle sword, so consider this a small gift for our first meeting."
"Thank you, Master Uncle." The clone of the Thousand Blades accepted the sword with both hands, carefully examined the exquisite runes on the sword, and then put it into the World Ring.
"I heard from Bai Feng that you are willing to hand over the Netherworld Sword Seal to your clan." The Chaos City Lord looked at the avatar of the Divine Beast and spoke slowly.
The body of the man in the saddle tightened.
"That's right," said the clone of the cloning beast. "My strength is still a bit lacking, and the probability of me obtaining the supreme treasure by entering the Netherworld Palace with the Netherworld Sword Seal is not high."
"Based on past experience, there's more than one supreme treasure inside the Netherworld Palace. Besides the most precious one, there are usually several top-tier and high-level supreme treasures as accompaniments, so even top-tier cosmic overlords usually don't go in empty-handed," the Chaos City Lord said slowly, his tranquil eyes fixed on Han Jun. "Of course, the strongest beings in the universe have the greatest chance of obtaining the most precious treasure."
"I understand."
"Your strength is currently weak, so you need to accumulate more experience. Your clan will not let you make sacrifices for nothing. You can make any requests you have. I can grant you what I can decide, and if I can't, I will convene a meeting to discuss it with the other universe lords," the Chaos City Lord said, looking at Hanyang.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony." The clone of the Thousand Jade also looked at the Lord of Chaos City and said, "My request is that the Netherworld Sword Seal can belong to the clan, but I want a high-grade palace treasure. If the clan eventually obtains the most precious treasure, I want a top-grade palace treasure. Of course, I can give up the high-grade palace treasure and return it to the clan."
"If the city lord agrees, I can hand over the Netherworld Sword Seal to the city lord now."
"What if the ethnic group disagrees?"
"Then the Netherworld Sword Seal can also be given to the City Lord." The clone of the Chaos City Lord grinned, and its single eye looked at the City Lord of Chaos in the same way.
"The little fellow is quite interesting." The Lord of Chaos City smiled, and the space around him was filled with an aura of joy. "This request does not need to be discussed with the other universe lords. I have made the decision and agree."
"Regardless of whether the giant axe ultimately obtains the most precious treasure, the treasures given to you in the high palace do not need to be returned. I have made the decision on this matter."
